It looks like they going back to using the rectangular shaped headlights again. Looks good.

I always like the hood scoop on the old 2.5 RS and the WRX, but that one in the pictures is rediculous. Almost looks like a cowl shaker hood of a muscle car, lol.

I was just going to post a pic from Paris motorshow but it was so small and that previous posts pic was better anyaway.
If the new STi that's supposedly coming out sometime next year looks like this, I've to seriously think about that one, especially since the new EVO looks like it's going to be ugly. If I'm paying $30k for a car, I'd like to look and admire it too, no matter how fast it is. And I thought I was going to buy my second turbo awd Mitsu next spring. What's next, Peugot going to unveil an production 206 turbo homologation special??

Hey evomk8 its probly just the color and shape of the lights.
I think it looks great, and if they did borrow some styling cues at least they borrowd some good ones and still made an original looking car thats gonna be great.
(when it finally gets here)

Hey I think you could do the same with evo. The newest front end pictures look hideaous. Its a cross between a pontiac and a cadallac. (2 of the uglyest car designs ever)
stick to lines and curves that flow throughout the body rather then random triangle grills and a non-agressive front.

I dunno, I just can't agree with you on the styling Guack007.
I posted my opinion on another thread already.
Though I agree with you on the new grille design, I see no connection to Cadillac designs.
I feel that the lines on the EVO are cleaner, more stylish and distictive, and that the car has a very aggressive demeanor.
The Scooby looks too "kit" bolted together. Can you say hood scoop?
